RS-232 Interface (XSP Series)

The XSP series (XSP01L, XSP01R, XSP11L, and XSP11R) uses the RS-232 serial standard for compatibility with industrial PCs, terminals, and PLCs.

Pin Assignment

Connection to PC

To connect the module to a standard PC (DTE with a 9-pin male connector), use a straight-through cable. Do not use a null-modem cable for this connection.

Remote Control Mode (RTU)

Two RS-232 modules can be coupled directly to mirror one module's inputs to the other module's outputs. Connect the modules with a null-modem cable (crossed signal lines) or a suitable transmission link, such as radio modems.
